If you are lucky enough, as I was, to see the magnificent Bayeux tapestry at the British Museum exhibition, you'll see in the first rooms various objects including the Alcester Tau Cross, a contemperary 11th century bishops crozier. This object demonstrates how pictorial and ornamental elements were combined at this time. We 3D scanned and digitally replicated this object as a stand-in exhibit.
